Modums for dummies

[Janice Chapek]

Am trying to set up AOL on a friend's computer.   The message we are getting is "can't find a modum".  The laldy was told that there was an internal modum on the computer when it was given to her.    How do I tell whether she has an internal modum?      I thought I was pretty good with computers myself, but I have always bought a computer totally loaded up and all I had to do is plug it in.   I can't help her at all.

Janice Chapek......Have look at the back of the tower......if it has a modem card in it ...there will be a phone jack on the back.....Even easier than that is if you have a wire running from the telephone jack on the wall to the the back of the computer ( and its plugged in ) THere is a modem. Probably you will have to create a new dialup account.........If your still having problems , I would phone AO *censored* and have them talk you through the setup.......( assuming they are the ISP)
You should also check in the device manager and be sure the modem drivers are installed .
